“It wasn’t something we wanted to sign up for… but God was glorified and He brought us good.” In this powerful message, Pastor Jeff shares his family’s unimaginable journey of faith: from missionary work in the jungles of Brazil to a devastating medical diagnosis for their unborn son… and the two undeniable miracles that followed. This message is about more than one family’s pain—it’s about how to stand strong when your world falls apart. You’ll discover: • Why wisdom matters most in times of trial • What Revelation teaches us about Jesus’ control, knowledge, and promises • The difference between God removing trials vs. walking with us through them • How to trust God with what you can’t understand 📖 Key Text: Revelation 2:8–11 If you’re struggling, this is a message of hope, endurance, and miraculous faith.
